I think I may be the first person on the planet to return a six-pack of beer. Oh well, they had it coming to them.
Today, I ran over to the local beer place and handed them the bad six-pack of Gritty McDuff’s Black Fly Stout and replaced it with a four-pack of Celebrator Doppelbock by Ayinger Brewery. I must say, this is a rather well tasting beer with great reviews over at the Beer Advocate. It’s pretty rich with a nice smooth finish. They even gave me little plastic rams on each beer.

It’s a pretty good beer that I would consider buying again.
I am still searching for another black, slow dripping, syrupy beer that sticks to my ribs. So far, the only two that have come close were the Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout and the Samuel Adams Double Bock. These were truly fabulous beers. I know, I know, they aren’t for everyone, but as long as you give them a good try, you’ll make me happy. It’s like telling your kid to eat his peas, just try the beer.
For my next brew, I am going custom. I am going to get on the horn with the people over at MakeBeer.net and talk recipe. I want it thick. I want it rich. No excuses and no more lazy thin beer. I will throw a few Hersey bars and coffee beans in there if I have to. By the way, MakeBeer.net has a new blog where they do talk recipe, so if you are interested, stop on by.
Cheers.

Consider researching home brewing at http://www.samueladams.com.
Boston-based Sam Adams began in 1985 with Jim Koch & a partner using his great-great-great grandfather’s full-bodied recipe.
Just like you Jay, Jim Koch enjoyed home brewed beer but his 5th generation recipe had an advantage: the market for home brewed and full flavored beer was just emerging. And he had an ancestor who owned a Milwaukee brewery.
Check out the home brewing section.
It has some great tips on sanitation, ingredient choices and how to avoid injury during bottle explosions.
Boston is also much closer than Australia and they offer brewery tours.
